Online game: Basic attacks increase strength; the greater the power, the more powerful it is!

[Ding! Successfully defeated the Shadow Nest Mother (Enhanced Elite Level), gaining 12000 experience points!]

[Ding! The Crimson Lotus Young Dragon has gained 12000 experience points, currently at 32230/200000]

[Loot obtained: 5 Gold Coins, 3 High-Grade Shadow Essences, 1 Shadow Nest Mother's Poison Gland, 1 Mysterious Black Stone]

The Shadow Nest Mother's massive body crashed to the ground, its dark green liquid spreading across the surface and emitting a pungent, fishy stench.

Both of them, Chaotic Mad Blade and Chaotic Shadow Killer, were frozen in place as if they had been frozen in place by a spell.

They stared wide-eyed at the figure descending from the sky, their minds blank.

One punch.

Just one punch.

He instantly killed that enhanced elite-level monster?

That's over 200,000 HP left!

Chaotic Blade swallowed hard, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the corpses of Jun Heng and the Shadow Nest Mother.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But he found his throat dry and hoarse, unable to make any sound.

Meanwhile, Chaotic Shadow Killer has broken free from the control of Shadow Gaze.

He stood on the edge of the shadows, his gaze towards Jun Heng filled with vigilance and shock.

As a professional assassin, he had seen too many masters.

But this was the first time he had ever seen damage numbers this terrifying.

Jun Heng ignored their shock and instead looked at the spoils he had just acquired.

The Shadow Nest Mother's poison glands are a material for crafting equipment, but they are not of much use to Junheng.

Advanced Shadow Essence is an item that can increase talent proficiency, which made Jun Heng slightly happy.

Since the Ultimate Power has reached Lv3, improving proficiency has become a major challenge.

The main reason is that his attack power is too high; most monsters can't withstand more than a few punches from him.

Although each Advanced Shadow Essence only increases proficiency by 300 points, it's still enough to match Junheng's efforts over several days.

Without the slightest hesitation, he used the Advanced Shadow Essence, bringing his talent proficiency to [4027/10000].

It's almost halfway done.

Finally, Junheng turned his gaze to the mysterious black stone.

【Mysterious Black Stone (Special Item)】

[Description: A stone imbued with mysterious energy, seemingly resonating with some ancient power; it emits a faint glow when approached by a specific target.]

Upon seeing this description and examining the texture of the stone, Junheng was overjoyed.

He felt that the stone was made of the same material as the slab in Karl's hand.

Therefore, this stone is very likely an important tool for finding the mysterious stone tablet.

He had been worried that finding a stone slab in such a vast underground waterway would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Unexpectedly, the Shadow Nest Mother sent him such a treasure.

With this device, it was like having a small radar, greatly expanding the area he could explore.

"Hey bro!"

Just then, the voice of Luan Shi Kuang Dao came from behind, carrying a touch of the carefree spirit of the martial arts world.

Jun Heng turned around and saw that Luan Shi Kuang Dao had already sheathed his greatsword and was striding towards him.

A genuine smile graced his face, and his eyes held undisguised admiration and curiosity.

"Thank you for saving our lives! If it weren't for you, brother, we would probably be dead here today."

Chaotic Blade walked up to Jun Heng, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and adopted a very humble posture.

Although he was unconventional in his personality, he was no fool who had managed to establish the reputation of the Chaotic World Guild in Jianghai City.

The boy in front of me, dressed in the system's default vest and shorts, instantly killed a strengthened elite monster with over 200,000 HP with a single punch.

This level of skill cannot be described simply as "expert".

This is a monster!

"Just doing it on a whim."

Jun Heng responded calmly, his gaze sweeping over Luan Shi Kuang Dao.

"You're here for the mysterious stone tablet too?"

Chaotic Blade was taken aback, then smiled bitterly.

"That's right, I got this quest from an NPC named Karl in the black market."

"I originally wanted to get some information about guild tokens from him."

"I didn't expect this old guy to be so old-fashioned. He doesn't want gold coins, he just wants us to help him find the stone slab."

"Several players had already accepted the same quest before us."

"However, their equipment and initial talents were too poor to withstand the monsters in the water, so they have all chosen to give up."

"Right now, it's probably just the three of us left here."

Upon hearing this, Jun Heng understood.

The monsters here are indeed very strong, especially in the water battles, which most players would definitely not be able to handle.

"How long have you been searching here?"

Jun Heng looked up, his gaze sweeping between Luan Shi Kuang Dao and Luan Shi Ying Sha.

"It started yesterday afternoon and has been going on for about ten hours now."

The Mad Blade of Chaos gave a bitter laugh.

"This underground waterway is much more complicated than I imagined. Shadow Killer and I have explored seven or eight caves, but we haven't found the altar that the old guy mentioned."

"But this Shadow Nest Mother, we've been eyeing it for a long time, hoping to kill it and get some good loot, but we almost got ourselves killed instead."

Upon hearing this, Jun Heng quickly began to calculate in his mind.

Chaotic Blade and Chaotic Shadow Assassin have been exploring this place for ten hours and their understanding of the underground waters far surpasses his.

Although he now has the mysterious black stone as a guide, he would certainly be more efficient if he had two helpers familiar with the terrain.

After all, the city lord's banquet wouldn't give him much time to waste.

Moreover, Luan Shi Kuang Dao is a straightforward and honest person, not the kind of treacherous person who would stab someone in the back.

In the previous life, the Chaotic World Guild was not as high-profile as the Judgment Guild.

However, in the war against the Abyssal Demons, they have always been the backbone of the front line.

"Since we're both working on the same mission, why don't we join forces?"

Jun Heng spoke, his tone calm but sincere.

"I just obtained an item from the Shadow Nest Mother that can sense the approximate location of the stone slabs."

"You are familiar with the terrain here. If we cooperate, the chances of finding the stone slab will be much higher."

Upon hearing this, Luan Shi Kuang Dao's eyes lit up.

"Brother, are you serious? Do you have a tool that can sense the stone slabs?"

He strode forward, his eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.

Without wasting any words, Jun Heng took the mysterious black stone out of his backpack.

Chaotic Blade approached, his gaze lingering on the rock for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This thing... can actually sense the stone slab?"

"You'll know once you try it."

Jun Heng didn't explain further. Holding the mysterious black stone, he slowly walked towards the water's edge.

The moment he approached the underground river, the black stone in his palm suddenly heated up slightly, and a circle of pale golden light shone on the dark patterns on its surface.

The light was very faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, but it was particularly conspicuous in the dim cave!
